Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid are still going strong this holiday season over a year after they first began dating. The relationship has reportedly taken a serious turn, and the celebrity duo might be looking at a future together.
Cooper and Hadid are being described as “the real deal” by an Us Weekly insider, who noted that their dating situation had “become very serious over the last year.” It’s why they are possibly thinking about getting engaged, even if there’s nothing on the table right now. The 49-year-old actor and the 29-year-old supermodel reportedly “mesh” well when it comes to their personalities.

“Bradley is a very easygoing kind of guy. His demeanor is very relaxed and chill,” the source said while another insider gushed about their “very calm temperaments.” Hadid is also thrilled about his “romantic and thoughtful” side in their relationship. “He does small gestures like making sure to call her whenever he gets a break on set just to say hello. It’s the little things that mean the most to her,” said the first source. It sounds like a match made in heaven for the two lovebirds!
They are also understanding of their co-parenting situations with their exes. Cooper shares daughter, Lea, 7, with ex-girlfriend Irina Shayk, and Hadid shares daughter Khai, 4, with Zayn Malik. “Irina has always given her blessing for Gigi to be around Lea and date Bradley. They are all cordial and friendly,” they added.
This isn’t the first time engagement rumors have circled the couple. In August, a Life & Style source claimed, “Bradley has already determined he is going to ask Gigi to marry him. “They have been committed to each other and to their plans for some time and now it is just a matter of when.” Their 20-year-age gap doesn’t seem to be an issue since they are in a similar stage of life when it comes to child-rearing.
It would be a monumental step for Cooper, who had a brief one-year marriage to actress Jennifer Esposito from 2006 to 2007. He and Shayk dated for four years from 2015 until 2019. Hadid’s relationship with Malik was more tumultuous with an on-again, off-again situation that lasted from 2015 until 2021. They eventually split after an altercation between Malik and her mom, Yolanda Foster.
It led to four counts of harassment against the former One Direction singer, and he pleaded no contest to the charges even though he “adamantly den[ied] striking Yolanda Hadid,” per TMZ. He had to enroll in an anger management class and a domestic violence program along with 90 days of probation, according to People.
With the drama behind Hadid, her focus is on her future with Cooper.
